Alexander Zverev moves past Alcaraz in Acapulco

Alexander Zverev started his 2021 Abierto Mexicano Acapulco campaign successfully when he defeated the Spanish wild-card, Carlos Alcaraz.

The 23-years-old German entered the draw as the second-seeded after Stefanos Tsitsipas who is no. 1 in Mexico. Last year, Alexander Zverev lost already in the second round in Acapulco when he was defeated by Tommy Paul. This year, he wants to make the story much happier for him and his fans.

In 2019, Zverev lost to Nick Kyrgios in the final, and he will try to reach the final also this year. His performance in the first round against Carlos Alcaraz was very impressive when he hit 11 aces and only 3 doubles faults.

After losing the first two games of the match, the German went on to win 12 of the following 14 games to win the match 6-3, 6-1 in 86 minutes and set up a second-round clash with Laslo Djere. It will be his first meeting with the Serbian who defeated Steve Johnson in the first round.
